Err no it's not. Misuse act can be anything that is malicious, such as using a computer to gain unauthorised access to databases.

Also if the website has an income, it will need to be tax registered. I'm not sure how much you have to earn before you start paying taxes. I've seen a book on computing law, there may be one in your local library.

The course leader said I can use laws which will aso effect website owners :p
So im all covered =]

You don't get charged for the first x amount of income.

Quote from DirectGov:

"This tax year (2007-2008), the basic personal allowance - or tax-free amount - is £5,225. You may be entitled to a higher personal allowance if you are 65 or over."

Another quote from HM Revenue and Customs:

"Your age by 5 April 2007 allowance for the year allowance each week
Under 65 £5,035 £97
65 – 74 £7,280 £140
Over 75 £7,420 £142"

YOU ARE WRONG.

The Computer Misuse Act can include anything malicious. For example, accessing documents without permission, breaching into computer systems, hacking websites, posting inappropriate programs aimed to infect a computer system. The list goes on as much as you fail.

I know, I'm just reminding failure that he is wrong... as he is.

Not all of it has been explained - so I thought I would expand on where my kind friend Richard left off from.

And lol.

Sorry, I just read "get in the way" so I sugest reading up on "Clean Room Design". It's claimed against copyright laws, but not patents.

I would recomend reading up on "Open publication" and also a group called ORG. It's to do with copyright and free material, if you're interested.
